Eric Peterson, guitarist for thrash masters Testament, has a new guitar available starting June 2009 with Dean Guitars, the ‘Old Skull V.’
“I’m very excited because I finally have a signature coming out,” said Peterson. “It’s a guitar I’ve been playing for a while, and I think people will enjoy the action. It’s got triple-binding, all-black EMG pick-ups, block inlay, and some really cool artwork. Not too much, but enough to keep it evil!”
Fans who purchase Testament’s special VIP packages for their current North American headlining tour have a chance to win one of three Eric Peterson Signature ‘Old Skull V’ guitars. The packages also include meet-and-greet opportunities, access to soundcheck, a collectible laminate, an autographed poster, Testament music skins, a limited edition Testament messenger bag, and a chance to win a Testament Darkstar skateboard.
